Good to see you this evening! Thanks for a GREAT road trip! :)
I really would love to go back to NY for a longer time to see more,
including Ft. Drum!
The Ironman Triathlon consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run. It is not an easy feat for anyone to accomplish. But Dick Hoyt participated in the race and completed it with his physically disabled son Rick. When Dick swam, he pulled Rick in a small boat. When Dick cycled, Rick was in a seat-pod on the bike. When Dick ran, he pushed Rick along in a wheelchair. Rick was dependent on his dad in order to finish the race. He couldn’t do it without him.
We see a parallel between their story and our own Christian life. Just as Rick was dependent on his dad, we are dependent on Christ to complete our Christian race.
As we strive to live a God-pleasing life, we realize that in spite of our best intentions and determination, we often stumble and fall short. By our strength alone, it is impossible. Oh, how we need the Lord’s help! And it has been provided. Paul declares it with these insightful words, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God” (Gal. 2:20).
We cannot finish the Christian race on our own. We have to do so by depending on Jesus living in us.
Read: Galatians 2:15-21
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
AWESOME
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
I feel comforted knowing so many military bases surround me.
~ Today... Sunny. Highs in the lower 80s.
Northeast winds 5 to 10 mph.
~ Tonight... Clear. Lows around 60.
East winds around 5 mph in the evening...
Becoming light and variable.
Sigh, fall is in the air.
I couldn't decide what to wear this morning.
It's chilly at the homestead, like 66.
But it'll get into low 80s today
so it'll be too warm to wear long pants and sweaters.
Liking the cool temps but it'll really interfere with
my beach time.
And, I haven't had a lot of it.
Time to make my rounds and then back to work.
But, you stay right where you are.
Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!
The FR Canteen is
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee,
pancakes,
conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
